Granato wanted Clifton and greenway. Think about that trash we added because of him.

Ughhh

What I like about Ruff is he can get the most out of defensemen. I think he is the guy to unlock Power and Byram and take Dahlin to another level. He definitely can get this team to the playoffs imo. The only box he doesn't check for me is he hasn't won a cup.

I feel like unlocking this teams defense and having a pressure system is exactly what this team needs. This is a speed, skilled team that needs the defense to step up.

Lindy to me is that guy.


Its unfortunate Buffalo let Peca walk. He should have been an assistant in Buffalo this past year.

Tyler Myers agrees with all of this.

Adams wanted leadership from Okpsos and Erik Johnson.

Girgensons is a pegula pet

Didn't he win Rookie of the year? And a 13-14 year career.

Thanks for proving my point.

I can understand the veteran leadership.

Granato miss played both Erik and Okposo.

Ryan Johnson should’ve played over Erik. He was scared to bench / healthy scratch Erik when he knew he stunk.

Okposo should’ve been a part time player on the 4th line and not on the 3rd line and PP

Lindy was fine. He failed to get the job done.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

OK, Granato mis played them. They shouldn't have been there in the 1st place to be used. Granato might have been horrible with his Decisions, but Adams brought the crap in or back in Girgensons and Okposo.

The kids needed vets and loved Okpsoso as a dad like figure.

If he played part time like anderson did. You wouldn’t be so mad

I’m going to guess none. That’s in my head with Chief. I don’t know, maybe he caught lightning in a bottle with the Blues. I liked him if Granato got poop canned during the season, but not sure I do for right now.

In reality, it’s like 2…. But I’d take a cup winner just to try and stabilize this poop show. The question will always be can coaching over come the inexperience and incompetency of the GM and President.

The answer for 13 years has been nope….

I still want President Lindy, but guessing Terry still can’t check his ego …..

Yes they needed Vets, but not 2 vets that breed losing and have No clue how to Win.

Greg Olsen is a great color commentator for Fox. He said he was on really good teams with a lot of veteran leadership and really good teams that were young. He didn’t think it made much of a difference. If you’re good you’re good

I didn't hate that presser. For once the guy was emotional and determined.

Like we got Rob Neidermeier when Scott was what was needed.

Or Keith Gretzky when we needed Wayne.

Just because the players are old doesn’t mean they are good at leadership.

Thank God they pulled the trigger and dumped Donnie Boy!!!! Now it is time to get a hard ass coach to whip these phaggotts into shape. If they would have let Joel Quenneville finish the job in Florida, they would have won the cup already. Gallant could get the job done as well since he had Vegas poised to win the cup. No more untried minor league garbage or wannabee NHL coaches that never won the cup. Do the right thing Pegula and get a real coach.

That's Great, but 2 totally different sports where you have a sh!t ton more players to use and choose from to make that Team.

Pushing that to the side. Be that as it may.

Know what you need and go find it. He gets fired with his next coach if it's another two year guy.
